Personalized Consulting
“Grow more worldly-wise, attuned, and composed”
What Type of Consulting do I propose?
3D Worldly℠ consulting services help people enhance their insight, adaptation, and problem-solving skills.
In The Fulatune Hardiness Handbook (2023), I point to the importance of observation and interpretation before the adaptation process begins. I argue that there is a close relationship between the quality of observation and interpretation, and the quality of adaptation: you can always adapt to a situation that has been superficially observed and imperfectly interpreted (we do it every day), but the insight and attunement won’t be optimal (misunderstandings, awkwardness, uneasiness, etc.). Therefore, I focus on developing observation and interpretation skills to foster prime adaptation, which in turn requires elaborate social problem-solving capabilities.
Overall, my consulting services focus on:
Problem-definition (with expert problem-reframing techniques)
Effective solution plan development (with social problem-solving theory & applications)
Insight and adaptation skills enhancement (with the Fulatune℠ method)
What you can expect after consulting sessions:
Being emotionaly & intellectually understood from multiple standpoints, not only from one cultural and disciplinary POV
Gaining perspective regarding your issues and identity, not ideological labels or buzzwords
Acquiring thinking tools to simplify, separate, clarify, and reframe problems, not only “actionable tips”
Cultivating global awareness skills, not only detail-orientated attention
Mastering elements of professional problem-solving methodologies, not only emotion-focused coping strategies
Having a personalized coping strategy program, not a cognitive distortions PDF glossary
Obtaining objective progress feedback, not client-retentive flattery
Experiencing more clear-eyed hardiness, not self-mystified contentment
Behaving with more composure in challenging situations, not faking to possess “charisma” with non-verbal gestures
Here are some examples of work areas:
Preparation of specific event for optimal composure
Acknowledging and controlling biases for optimal decision-making
Decision-making & problem-solving support
Adaptating effectively to specific environments
Advanced & personalized stress management strategy building
Endurance strategies for hard & durable times (divorce, work harassment, etc.)
Specific long-term adaptation (retraining, expatriation, institutionalization, etc.)
And here are the types of services you’ll have to look for elsewhere:
“Finding purpose”
“Dating strategies”
“Soothing masculinist insecurities”
“Networking tricks”
“Inner energy uncaging”
For Who?
3D Worldly consulting services are best suited for demanding audiences who feel that mainstream personal development:
might sometimes lack depth or rigorousness
tends to shape your issues with trendy buzzwords
doesn’t always align with your values or goals.
The services are also relevant for those looking for an alternative that is LESS:
value-laden than most personal development conceptions
culturally biased than the majority of self-help discourses
rhetorical and flattering than many slogans
patronizing than quite a few motivational lectures
naïve and overpromising than a lot of life coaching social media chatter…
…And seeking an option that is MORE :
rational than many ideological and mystical assumptions
elaborate and incremental than simplistic and scattered “tips”
explicit about the nature of the mechanisms involved in change
aware of the findings of the social sciences
Why work with me?
Rationality: Having been trained in leading Academic institutions such as Paris-Descartes University and École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, I am not likely to give much credit to unfounded claims, botched reasoning, or rhetorical strategies.
Multidisciplinary & Bias-reduced Perspective: As a certified psychologist, sociologist, and pedagogue holding three nationalities and based in “global city (Sassen, 2005), I am relatively aware of how cultural and disciplinary biases can influence and distort behavioral and sociological analysis. However, as a former vocational school pupil and athlete, I am also conscious of the limitations inherent to abstract knowledge, intellectualism, and scholastic insularity.
Innovative Approach: While I align myself with several established psychological and sociological theoretical frameworks and practices, I go beyond the simple following of guidelines or application of template-driven advice by integrating personal reflections and 30 years of professional experiences into an original and systematized personal development method.
Worldliness: Being an adaptation expert takes more than reading scientific papers on the subject: it also requires extended experience and practice in many different fields. Since 1990, I have worked in close to 45 different organizations, engaging in numerous and diverse activities, from terrorism-prevention security guarding and low grade mall store retail sales to public speaking at the École Normale Supérieure (Paris) and international academic conference co-organization.
Independence: Because I consider independence is still a condition of proper thinking and trust-building, I do not resort to influencer or affiliate-marketing, brand ambassadorship, advertisement, sponsored content, or corporate partnerships.
Fair Fees & Non-Discriminatory Consultancy
My fees are related to this independence, but also to the fact that my expertise is grounded in three decades of expensive and demanding reading, learning, thinking, researching, training, debating, practicing, writing, reevaluating, enduring, counseling, organizing, etc. Please feel free to compare the experience/cost ratio of other consultants, life coaches, or even gurus using your money to have their initials embroidered on a shirt monogram. As I have never been a “prince’s counselor” or, as some dare to put it “Life Coach to the Top 1%”, I do not practice socio-economic discrimination. For clients with financial constraints, reduced fees are available. For individuals or organizations without that type of constraint, the same reasonable fees are paid regardless of their income.
Possibily of Full Anonymity & High Level Communication Security
I understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality, and I offer the option for anonymous consultations to ensure that clients feel comfortable discussing sensitive matters. For highly secure communications, I use Signal, a trusted messaging app known for its end-to-end encryption. This ensures that your conversations are fully protected, allowing you to communicate with peace of mind.
How do I work?
Given the time zone differences across various English-speaking regions, I generally provide Email-based consulting sessions. While I don't conduct phone consultations, I occasionally offer video sessions when necessary.
My consultancy is committed to being economically accessible to all, and across diverse regions. Fees are thoughtfully adjusted to align with individual financial possibilities, local economic conditions, and currency differences to ensure fairness.
